Sticky Cameras for Infiltrators

[windlord]

Gday folks.

I had this thought the other day which is an extension of an earlier idea I had.

What if an infiltrator could either shoot or place cameras?

Would that dispora of intel be useful in operations? It would make the infiltrator a very effective spy. Monitoring a target or a neighboring enemy facility.

Thoughts?

Sure, if I could customize my infiltrator to look like this:

I would like this a lot, but it must be able to be shot down or emp'd

I remember them saying that something like this would be available a while ago. Also, it was stated recently that cloakers would have gadgeteer style gameplay, so placeable cameras definitely fit in with the style :)

Sticky cameras always remind me of Spiderman, webbing his camera to a wall to capture himself fighting crime. Hugely badass.

the real question isnt should they be in, the answer is yes. The question is should they be allowed to be stuck to freidnly or enemy vehicles. Imagine being able to get your own intel by watching your friends tank from a camera you stuck onit? Would be incredible. Dunno how versitile the netcode is to deal with things like that. But would be unique and fun as hell.

Stick one to the underside of a liberator for air surveilance ;)

Oh my lord, it would be amazing if this were in PS2.

...or a stealthy Infiltrator could dispense with a sniper rifle and half-decent cloak in favour of more effective invisibility and an attractive range of C4 and spy cameras.

Can you tell us if 3rd person will play a role in PlanetSide 2?
There will only be a 3rd person view for certain air vehicles, infantry will not have a third person view at all. There may be things like cameras that an infiltrator can throw on a wall to monitor who is coming up the stairs or around a corner.
